Don, I'll have to look for another dealer AND make a complaint. I just tried to take the system back to the way I bought it (no AdRAM); when I powered up, the A501 smoked! I popped the shielding off, and found that C61 (a bypass cap near the middle of the board) was the crispy critter! I don't get that at all. Oh, well. I've spent too much time on this already. Tony
